On the other hand, it's all about numbers and how long it takes to get it re-rented.

I also do index sized business cards with pictures that I hand to everyone.

I'm raising all the cash I can get my hands on.

I would figure out how to sell the property without taking title, so that the title can change hands from the family directly to the end buyer, that way you do not have to "prove" anything.There are a couple ways to do this (I am sure other BP members can chime in with other ways), but here is how I would do it.You get an option on the condo in the next 90 days.

That simply proves the lenders aren't terribly concerned about looking for properties changing hands.

Nathan could you explain to me how cashing in on the equity from the cars that i own or any other cash i could get my hands on could help me move in to a conventional commercial loan.

I've done so many 1031's that I can't say off-hand how much "new" money went into the market and when.

Breaking my left hand in a bad accident has taken me out of the real estate game for longer than I hoped...

I have an iPhone 4, and if anyone got their hands on it, they could call, send texts, etc.

If you have not done a handful of major renovations, I would caution you against pursuing this deal.
